Here's the other Dave lol, starts with a Gibson acoustic & finishes with a no nonsense 1950s Broadcaster, too much talent that boy!

Not sure its a Gretch, not for £30, the bridge looks like its from an accoustic guitar..

 

[The Wino]

It looks set up to get an acoustic or similar sound through an amp while resisting feedback. It's got a bigsby copy arm and looks like electric guitar pickups probably a microphone inside as well.. Seems cheap at £30 where did you see it. It could sound great........or terrible!

It depends on the history they could be a bargain. I bought my Gretsch from a shop but it was being sold on comission from someone who inherited a big collection of guitars a friend knew the history. The person with the collection never really played that much but built up a pretty big collection all in as new condition. He sold them through the music shop as he didn't have a scooby what they were worth. The music shop owner put mine up for sale but looked up the wrong model I paid £325 new they're about £650 she was paying the seller £525!!. I felt so guilty I went back and gave her a bit more cash in an envelope!

Similar setup to the other one. I recon they were from someone into blues or bluegrass although I'm no expert. Why not give him a call and find out the story.

It looks like a Bigsby as commonly used on Gretsch guitars but I can see no sign of the branding

I'm certainly no guitar expert but if they are £30 then they are either nicked or a con!

Cash in a plain brown envelope to a lady for a guitar. Aye right! Tells another one!
